gmayor - I tried what you suggested however it still creates the line (which says page break in that ¶ view)

esme - I just tested Ctrl-Enter and it still creates the return, just like the ribbon icon does.

What I would like is for the page break to function the same as right click text > paragraph > page break before, where there is no annoying added blank line in normal view and no page break in ¶ view.

Surely there is an option for this?

Thanks
